I know this is a topic that has probably been addressed many times but I have a 01 Trans am, turbo car, th400, 12 bolt. Makes 850 to the rear wheels. The car will see most action on the street and will rarely be on the track. The suspension that is on the car is what was on it when I bought it. Not sure where I should go from here with what I have, def need some shocks and springs or coil overs? Any suggestions?

Stock shocks with Eibach drag springs
SLP Subframe connectors
SLP lower tubular control arms
Spohn Anti Roll Drag rear sway bar
Adjustable tq arm
Tubular K member and a arms

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

 

Better shocks. Those oe shockes weren't very good when they were new.

 

Yes shocks. Koni Sport (yellows) or SRT's. I ran Konis on stock shocks for years (with them set to the softest setting) - good ride, a little firm but not too harsh. But I'd say no to the drag springs. Shock and Springs must WORK TOGETHER as a team. You have to make sure to match them up; that is, can't have too stiff a shock with a soft spring, or a stiff spring with a floppy shock; the ride will be bad and/or dangerous.
